IMPACT's Approach to Perinatal Mental Health
At IMPACT, we provide specialized care for perinatal mental health. Our therapists offer compassionate and personalized support to help women navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy and the postpartum period. We start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your specific mental health needs during the perinatal period. Our therapists utilize an attachment-informed framework to help new mothers navigate this major life transition.
Child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), supportive psychotherapy (SP), and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are seamlessly integrated to help strengthen relational bonds, provide encouragement, and address negative thought patterns. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are used to help manage stress and promote emotional well-being. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) interventions are often utilized to help new moms define their role in the family and address any potential relationship issues that may impact mental health during this time.
Our supportive counseling provides a safe space to explore and discuss your feelings and concerns, ensuring you receive the care you need to thrive during pregnancy and beyond.
